Hot and humid today and I wasn't able to go 3 miles,I went 2.85 but I did go 30 minutes that I am supposed to do on my training. So I guess my last post title and this post title contradict each other. 

My first mile I went by rather quickly, with my new route I go through the construction area that was hit by the tornado so I was looking at all the progress being done. Before I knew it the first mile was over. 

The second mile was more of a struggle with the heat today...looking back I should take advantage of the shaded area on the bike path and maybe should have taken baby steps and conserved some energy for the third mile. I will try to remember that on Wednesday. 

The third mile was more in the sun and I was feeling the heat and humidity, more difficult to breath in the humidity. I knew I wasn't going to make 3 miles without getting sick so I decided to take a short cut today. There were three options...short route, medium route or long route. I opted for the middle one. It took me to my cool down corner with 2.85 miles under my belt...more importantly...no throwing up!
